This State Complimented on Di

Urged'to Build Big Auditorium.
Eight years ago Dr. Woodrow Wil
Bon, governor of New Jersey and
possible candidate for president in
,1912, stepped off a train into the
Portland station. It was his first
visit to the Far Wenr.
Tomorrow Woodrow Wilson, pres
ident of the United States and au
thor Of the Leagu of Nations cov
enant, will pay his second visit to
Portland.
Perhaps he will remember that first
Visit.
Even as president of the United States,
ieralded as a savior of the allied cause
(gainst Germany, there is not much
riore tribute Portland can tender him, in
he day now, than she did then. Days
mill have 24 hours. Crowds are still
rowds. If there be a difference it must
:e a spiritual one, for the quest's pro
gram on May 18 and 19, 1911, was as
full and as varied as any that the most
ngenious of committees could devise for
Ilia unusual Monday.

Perhaps, If President Wilson has for
totten Portland, Portlanders will re
n ember him. He was admittedly a
democratic leader, and possibly he was
o be the leader of Democracy.
He had left New Jersey to study peo
le. of other states, and to let people of
ther states study him. He was young
tr, much younger looking than he Is now,
. liter seven years as chief executive. And
nstead of sparing bits to accredited
iorrespondents, he was as easy of access,
erhaps easier, than his secretary, and
le told newspaper boys Just what he
hought about everything. The boys
vere struck by his looks and by his
ourtly dignity and at the same time his
lemocratio consideration and courtesy.
So Portland decorated to receive Qov
irnor Wilson. And knew, the minute
hey saw him swing down from the train,
hat h was a man Oregonlans delight to
lonor.
It rained torrents, and when Harvey
Seckwith, president of the Commercial
ilub ; State Senator Ben Selling, State
Senator M. A. Miller of Linn county, A.
U. Fish, W. J. Hoffmann, B. O. Snuffer
ind W. A. Montgomery, met the New
(ersey executive and party at the Bta
lon they apologized for the weather.
IE XIKED OBEGOW
"But I like Oregon," said, the future
resident, "and I like its form of gov
ernment. It should be a model to the
ther states."
Portlanders kept the new Democratic
eader busy that drizzly May day, in
pite of the rain. At 7 o'clock that even
ng he dined with the Commercial club.
U 9 :30 p. m. he was received by Press
lub mmbers. The following noon he
tddressed the T. M. C. A. to its audi
orium. Before he left, at 10 :30 at night,
le was dined by the University club and
nade a public address at the Armory,
n his addresses he opposed the recall as
Ipplied to the Judiciary and praised the
)regon system of government.
; Incidentally, the New Jersey governor
bok a ran at the Armory, and in an
pen letter to Postmaster C. B. Merrick,
fdvised Portland to build itself a big
iudltortum. President Wilson will speak
(i that auditorium tomorrow night.
EESIDENCT DISCUSSED
"In the East I am accounted a pro
Tessive," he said, "but out here I am
lot so sure."
The fovernor spoke of himself as a
man of books." "But I am impatient
f theories," he said. "Any method that
ill woik to restore a representative gov
rnment to the people, that will gain in
dependence from the sinister combination
etween policies of the business world,
rill be tcceptable.
Concerning the prospect of his being
democratic nominee for president. Dr.
Vilson ald : "I think no man should
e so impertinent as to seek the notni
ation. But I think no man is big
nough to refuse the nomination if of
ered." The governor approved the Oregon
ystem of direct election of senators,
,nd prophesied nationalization of the
xincipU. Two years later, during the
Irst Wilson administration, the direct
lection amendment to the federal con
titution was ratified.
MERICAKS TOO IMPATIENT
"I do not believe in too radical pro
ressiveness," the potential White House
ccupant told a Journal reporter. "I
- hink we should -have a balanced pro
tressiveness with a conservation and
tilizatUn of all forces. Our American
ault is that we are too Impatient In
tead of waiting till next week for the
hange to come, we want it tomorrow or
rithin the next 16 minutes. The fact
i that a great systematic national move
ment toward reorganization of all our
Orms of government is in progress, and
t'e should be content to wait and see if
' will tot meet our national need for
urlfled administration of governmental
unctions."
i "Woodrow Wilson Is the unexpected,"
ommented The Journal editorially that
fternocn. "He is a national surprise."
i "Governor Wilson Is not ah opportun
)t The political regeneration of New
iersey is not an accident"
! "Wilsnism is today one of the largest
acts im -American life. It la popular
eaderslilp with a safety valve. It is
opular government with a balance
'heel. It is statesmanship without dem
gogy and of caliber and character to
latch and master the gathering prob
ims In our national life."

Woodrow Wilson, Who Will Be Oregon's Guest Monday
Tomorrow Oregon will have as its
guest the "First lady of the land," when
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson will spend the
day in Portland.
This, however, is not Mrs. Wilson's
first appearance in Oregon. In 1905, as
Mrs. Norman Gait, she visited the.
Lewis and Clark exposition in Pttrt-i
land with a party of friends.
About the person of this distinguished
visitor who was Edith Boiling of Wytbe
ville, Va., lingers the spirit of romance.'
The history of tho Boilings of Virginia
brings to mind the story of the stirring
days of the colonists, of Captain John
Smith and of the lovely Princess Poca
hontas, wife of John Rolfe, first secre
tary of the colony of America.
Mrs. Wilson, it Is stated, is ninth In j reputation of being a charming hostc3, j
descent from the Prinrees Pocahontas, a woman of keenest mentality, and of
.vhlch is a matter of great pride to the KUch genuine charm of manner, such I
families of Virginia, who revere the , individuality and perfect tastein those
memory or me oeautirui jnaian maia lnings which are cherished In the hearts
.ho became the rage in London during! of womerii that she has won a large
the early days, and for whom a recep- T,iaoc tn the hearts of all those who
tion was tendered by the Lord CSishop
of London, which was described as a
"festival attended with pomp beyond
that which had ever been witnessed in
the great hospitalities afforded by the
Lord Bishop to all ladies in high favor."
Mrs. Wilson, not only as the wife of
the president, but long before her re
cent marriage, when -she was Mrs. Nor
man Gait of Dupont circle in Washing
ton, established for herself the happy
have had the good fortune to be asso- j
ciatert with her. Mrs. Wilson is an ac
complished musician, the piano being !
her favorite instrument. She Is deeply
interested In the serious things of life
and is a woman of simple tastes.
The steel barge Monongahela, with
15 men on board, is either lost with all
hands or is adrift somewhere in the
Gulf of Mexico.
